overwhelmed by theworkload, learning engineering theory, and social adjustment to campus life. Many of thesestudents encounter additional challenges such as differences in ethic/cultural values andsocialization, chilly classroom environments, perceived lack of faculty/advisor support,internalization of negative racial and gender stereotypes, and socio-economically disadvantagedbackground [2], [3], [4].Typically, postsecondary educational research focuses on one element of engineering studentssuch as gender or ethnicity; and fails to recognize the intersectionality of women of color. Thisis compounded by the fact that due to low participation, women of color in engineering areunderrepresented in research [2]. Qualitative research can provide a means

Taking an engineering oriented topic, like drones, and addressing it holistically should help the student expand their engineering identity to look at engineering problems from an ethical, historical, person based perspective.Developing Non-Engineering IdentityThis vector focused on internal and personal development. Identity is a particularly trickyconcept to define. Chickering defined identity as being secure in one’s sense of self; comfortwith one’s body, gender, sexuality, culture, and place in the larger community.

short, the predominate interests behind the choice of minority engineering students were,predictably, math skill, love of science and family influence. However, the highest performingstudents were also motivated by good career opportunities (the “hunger factor”), the bent towardmaking and fixing things, and the desire to improve the world.Success in EngineeringThe second question put to them was “What does it take to be successful in your engineeringprogram?” The top three responses were (see figure 2): (1) Dedication and motivation, from 49.3% of students: “Dedication and motivation because there is a lot to learn and a lot to do;” “Commitment;” “Determination.” (2) Effort and hard work, from 31.3%: “It takes a very strong work ethic
